Aesthetics over substance

March 20th 2009 01:35

My friend made these party bags for the girls to take home after the Hen's Night. They include essential morning after medication such as asprin and a Berocca as well as an assortment of heart shaped treats. I contributed to these by making ginger hearts (recipe to come soon).

We also included Heart Beat lollies, the heart shaped lollies with writing on them and chocolate hearts.

After a bit of testing around the place we came to the conclusion that you can not find heart shaped lollies that actually taste nice. Most of them have a fake cherry flavour, which seems to universally remind people of cough medicine. So, does the fact that the lollies are in a cute shape mean that they don't have to taste nice? Or can they get away with it because they're pretty?

Essentially, do these items function as food, or decoration?

I think they all start coming out now - I was at a chocolate shop yesterday San Churro I think it was called and they were making them for Easter. Lindt probably does the same thing but only for say Valentines and Easter. The rest probably always make crapola chocolate. I know the DJ's in Sydney has the most amazing chocolate selection. You probably needed to go to a choc specialist but then it all comes down to $$$.
